WEDNESDAY NIGHT’S IN THE AUDITORIUM WITH PASTOR AT 6:30
Igniting Kingdom Prayer with Dr. Tony Evans
This week’s lesson is Understanding Your Spiritual Authority (Ephesians 1:15-23): To every one of us, God has given kingdom authority. But what most Christians don’t realize is that your own clouded view can keep you from experiencing what God has to offer. In this message, Tony Evans challenges you to ask God to help see things clearly in hopes that you might seize your spiritual authority given to use in the context of His will.

Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:
Exodus 15:23, “And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.”
Consider the experience of the children of Israel in the wilderness.
God arranged everything.
He brought them to Marah, where there was bitter water (Exo. 15:23).
That means God’s ways came in.
God showed His acts to the children of Israel, but His ways to Moses (Psa. 103:7).
Moses knew God’s ways.
God’s ways with me are how He treats me.
He treats me with my spouse.
He treats me with my children.
He treats me with in-laws.
He treats me with a family.
This is how God has treated me.
These are God’s ways in my life.
For me to murmur when God is treating me a certain way is an outright rebellion against God and His ways with me.
To do or say things expressing my dissatisfaction, expressing what I do not like, is murmuring.
Murmuring is just expressing my complaint, maybe even under my breath.
Speaking in this way is rebellion.
We have to realize that every murmur is a rebellion and also an escape from the cross.
Reasoning is intellectual rebellion, the rebellion in our mind.
God does not give reasons.
God just does what He wants to.
In the book of Job, Job eventually saw that God is God, and He does what He wants to do in the way He wants to do it, and there is nothing to say.
So when we begin to reason and question why an environment is happening, why something is the way it is, that is rebellion in our mind toward the Lord.
We have to see that to live a life inwardly applying the cross, you just do not rebel.
To not rebel means to do everything without murmuring and without reasoning.
You lose your speaking, you lose your reasoning mind, and you are left with your spirit.
Praise the Lord!
By applying the cross, you are left with your spirit to enjoy God and to be renewed in the spirit of your mind.
